Mountain Home Idaho is a community that knows exactly what it is. A sanctuary from the stressful life of living in a big city, and a retreat to a simpler time where community values are at the tops of peoples priority lists.

Mountain Home's citizens enjoy a balance of urban amenities and a small town quality of life. It's a community rich in heritage and traditional family values. The City of Mountain Home supports a full range of traditional municipal services. Businesses and residents can count on the Police and Fire Departments' emergency units to respond within minutes, and both organizations support the community through preventative educational programs.

After working hours, residents can retreat to any of the city's seven parks, some of which include playground equipment for the physically challenged. Recreational opportunities include a new recreation center, tennis courts, volleyball and basketball courts, jogging trails, picnic areas and a community center. These recreational amenities provide places for families to gather outdoors and enjoy the comfortable Northwest climate. The public library and senior citizen center offer a wealth of information and recreational activities.
